The boiler has been ripped out and replaced. Thank goodness - above all this was the part I was dreading.
The engineer came on Tuesday and the work began. I took the children away to stay with friends on Tuesday night and have been staying out of the house as much as possible since then.
When I did have to be home, I lit our open fire and we huddled round in the living room. It wasn't a particularly cold week really, but I realise how dependent on heating I've become and what a softie I am, because I felt drained and miserable for the few hours that I had to endure it.
But the guy was quick and efficient and normal service was resumed on Friday lunchtime. Now I've just got to wait until the surveyor comes on Monday to find out exaclty how much of a nightmare the main kitchen fit is going to be.
